Why new Drivers?
The updated drivers add stability to your capture device hardware. Specifically there
was a problem that occurred when a PC went to sleep or into Hibernate mode. When
the PC was brought back to normal operation the capture device was not re-detected
and required cycling power to the device so it could be detected by the PC. The new
driver solves this issue.
DivX Capture
CapWiz now supports capture of video into the DivX video compression format. DivX is
a popular format because it achieves good quality video at high compression rates. This
means that you end up with more video in a small file size. Often times you can record
1.5 – 2 hours of video in about 700 MB. This means you can fit up to 2 hours of video
on a normal CD. You also don’t need special software to burn the CD. Just capture the
DivX file and use your normal CD burning software to write the file to the CD. Many
new DVD players support the DivX format.
In custom settings you can select the video resolution (352 x 240 or 640 x 480) and bit
rates from 650 kb/sec. to 2.4 mb/sec.
Note – Compressing to the DivX format requires extra processing power on the PC. We
have found that to achieve good video captures at a CPU speed of 1.8 GHz or equal
is required. For 640 x 480 resolution a CPU speed of 2.4 GHz or equal is required.
Results may vary. When you select DivX capture you will be advised of the CPU
requirements and then be allowed to start capture.
Multi-Language Support
CapWiz now supports multiple languages. Currently CapWiz ships with support for
English, French and German. Other languages such as Spanish will be available soon.
Choose the language of your choice during installation.
Broader PAL/SECAM support
CapWiz now supports all of the varieties of PAL and SECAM. This will help all of our
international customers capture video from their native sources.

country is not listed select “Another Country” and manually select from the list of TV
formats: NTSC M, NTSC MJ, PAL B, PAL I, PAL M, PAL N, SECAM B, SECAM D,
